Pakasit and his family are really hospitable and so friendly. The lodge itself is amazingly decorated, and there is such attention to detail. You could spend all day just looking at all the cool deor. Our room was comfortable. Breakfast here was the best we had on our trip. You are close to the BTS station, as well as local markets and shops. Walking distance to the ferry as well. Pakasit has some maps that break down the area really easily and he was quick to help with directions. 7-11 is right around the corner, well on every corner in Thailand-and there are street food vendors on the same block. The only downside is that one of their dogs barked a lot. He woke me up one night (I wasn't wearing earplugs that night) and then he barked a lot on my last day (I was hanging out at the hotel just resting and I had lost my earplugs)...Overall, I would recommend this listing!
